  	help
  	  OProfile is a profiling system capable of profiling the
  	  whole system, include the kernel, kernel modules, libraries,
  	  and applications.
  
  	  If unsure, say N.

  config OPROFILE_EVENT_MULTIPLEX
  	bool "OProfile multiplexing support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
  	default n
  	depends on OPROFILE && X86
  	help
  	  The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing
  	  feature enables OProfile to gather more events than counters
  	  are provided by the hardware. This is realized by switching
  	  between events at an user specified time interval.

  	depends on HAVE_KPROBES

  	select KALLSYMS

  	help
  	  Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
  	  execute a callback function.  register_kprobe() establishes
  	  a probepoint and specifies the callback.  Kprobes is useful
  	  for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
  	  If in doubt, say "N".

  config JUMP_LABEL

         bool "Optimize very unlikely/likely branches"

         depends on HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL
         help

           This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
  	 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
  	 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
  
  	 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
  	 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
  	 branches and include support for this optimization technique.

           If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",

  	 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
  	 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
  	 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
  	 conditional block of instructions.
  
  	 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
  	 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
  	 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

  	 ( On 32-bit x86, the necessary options added to the compiler
  	   flags may increase the size of the kernel slightly. )

  config OPTPROBES

  	 passing of pt_regs to function tracing, then kprobes can
  	 optimize on top of function tracing.

  config UPROBES

  	def_bool n

  	select PERCPU_RWSEM

  	help

  	  Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they
  	  enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
  	  to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
  	  libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
  	  are hit by user-space applications.
  
  	  ( These probes come in the form of single-byte breakpoints,
  	    managed by the kernel and kept transparent to the probed
  	    application. )

  config HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS
  	def_bool 64BIT && !HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
  	help
  	  Some architectures require 64 bit accesses to be 64 bit
  	  aligned, which also requires structs containing 64 bit values
  	  to be 64 bit aligned too. This includes some 32 bit
  	  architectures which can do 64 bit accesses, as well as 64 bit
  	  architectures without unaligned access.
  
  	  This symbol should be selected by an architecture if 64 bit
  	  accesses are required to be 64 bit aligned in this way even
  	  though it is not a 64 bit architecture.
  
  	  See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
  	  information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.

  config HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS

  	bool

  	help
  	  Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
  	  without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
  	  unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
  	  unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
  	  handler.)
  
  	  This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
  	  perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
  	  code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
  	  drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
  	  problems with received packets if doing so would not help
  	  much.
  
  	  See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
  	  information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.

  config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
         bool
         help
  	 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
  	 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
  	 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
  	 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
  	 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
  	 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
  	 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
  	 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
  	 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
  	 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>.  But just in case it
  	 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
  
  	 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
  	 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
  	 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

  	prompt "Stack Protector buffer overflow detection"

  	depends on HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR

  	default CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE

  	help

  	  This option turns on the "stack-protector" GCC feature. This

  	  feature puts, at the beginning of functions, a canary value on
  	  the stack just before the return address, and validates
  	  the value just before actually returning.  Stack based buffer
  	  overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
  	  overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
  	  neutralized via a kernel panic.

  config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE
  	bool "None"
  	help
  	  Disable "stack-protector" GCC feature.
  
  config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
  	bool "Regular"
  	select CC_STACKPROTECTOR
  	help
  	  Functions will have the stack-protector canary logic added if they
  	  have an 8-byte or larger character array on the stack.

  	  This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution

  	  gcc with the feature backported ("-fstack-protector").
  
  	  On an x86 "defconfig" build, this feature adds canary checks to
  	  about 3% of all kernel functions, which increases kernel code size
  	  by about 0.3%.
  
  config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG
  	bool "Strong"
  	select CC_STACKPROTECTOR
  	help
  	  Functions will have the stack-protector canary logic added in any
  	  of the following conditions:
  
  	  - local variable's address used as part of the right hand side of an
  	    assignment or function argument
  	  - local variable is an array (or union containing an array),
  	    regardless of array type or length
  	  - uses register local variables
  
  	  This feature requires gcc version 4.9 or above, or a distribution
  	  gcc with the feature backported ("-fstack-protector-strong").
  
  	  On an x86 "defconfig" build, this feature adds canary checks to
  	  about 20% of all kernel functions, which increases the kernel code
  	  size by about 2%.

  	help
  	  With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit.
  	  Before enabling this option, arch code must be audited
  	  to ensure there are no races in concurrent read/write of
